I can’t take my iPhone 7 videos (.mp4) and load them into the timeline. Any suggestions why this is happening?

Q2: iPhone 7 Video – Serious Sync Issues Eliminate Premiere as a tool

I was excited to see how great the video is from the iPhone 7. I have taken one hour 4k videos of lectures that look great. However, when pulled into Premiere (CS5), the sound goes out of sync to the point that it is unusable after about seven minutes. I have checked the original file (.MP4) using QT – it plays perfectly. Indeed, I can trim and split the file using QT and I know that creating a bunch of small videos to link in Premiere would be a solution of sorts.

Why can’t Import iPhone 7 MP4 video into Adobe Premiere Pro?

Can’t import your iPhone 7 MP4 file to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4/CS5/CS3/CS6? The iPhone 7 records in MPEG-4 and outputs its files as .MP4 files (the container). Files are compressed using the h.264 codec (as opposed to AAC or Xvid and DivX usually found in .AVI containers). So the files you are getting out of iPhone 7 are suited to be delivered as is, which is usually not what you want. So sometimes our iPhone 7 MP4 file codec isn’t compatible with Adobe Premiere. To easily solve your problem, you can convert this iPhone 7 MP4 video to other Premiere friendly movie format like MPEG-2, FLV and more (Note: it applies to all kinds of Adobe Premiere including Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3/ CS4/ CS5/ CS6).

Step 1. Click “Add File” button to import the unsupported iPhone 7 MP4 video file. Or you can also drag your MP4 video directly to the main interface of this MP4 to Premiere Converter.

Step 2. When you come to the output list, we suggest you to drop down the list and find the ‘Adobe Premiere Pro’ column and choose the ‘MPEG-2 MPG’ as the nice one. Or other suitable output format is also available.

Tips: Advanced functions

A. Click the “Edit” button to open the Video Edit window to achieve editing MP4 like trim, crop, image, watermark, effect, subtitles and rotate and etc in the corresponding editing pane.

As soon as we have finished all the preparation work there, just get back to the main interface to click the ‘Convert’ icon to get the work started. After transferring the files to Adobe Premiere CC as usual, we can edit the recordings in Adobe which shot from iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s/6s Plus/5s/5s Plus. Have a try!
